Hi Basil,
The gnome3.org openSUSE-based live CD's do have the option for installing when using the LiveCD (My laptop was installed this way)
It's in the Desktop folder in the linux users home directory
Of course, the 'Desktop' folder is somewhat redundant in GNOME 3, gnome-shell does not show icons on the desktop, so you have to go poking around the file system or using your valid YaST approach

Thinking out loud, isn't this is going to be more of an interesting issue in 12.1? if it's going to be GNOME 3, it wont be ABLE to have any icons on the desktop
Maybe an application icon is the way to go forward..

in the past the LiveCDs had an installer icon on the desktop - I don't see this with the current GNOME LiveCD ;-(
How do you want to do this for 12.1?
Andreas I haven't seen the 12.1 version but I am wondering if there is some misunderstanding about this Live CD and the ability to install Gnome 3
when using the Live CD.
The Live CD I have come across with Gnome 3 does NOT have the option to
install Gnome 3 when the Live CD is first booted and the menu appears -
which is unlike all previous Live CDs where one had the option to Install the system from that first menu.
Live CD with Gnome 3 do not have this option, and one has to know that
only by going into Yast can one see the Live Installer option.
The point I was making is that why suddenly doesn't the Live CD have the option of installing Gnome 3 when the Live CD is booted? It has nothing to do with not having desktop icons or anything else. Why isn't there the option to install the Live CD from the menu when the CD is booted? Simple question: why has this option been removed?
